Professors *never* supply information. Students aren’t paying premium prices for ‘information’ at all. How can people who presumably have attended universities misunderstand their role so badly?
Wow. Just wow.
"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

🚨An important reminder of the trauma faced by asylum seekers.
Not just in fleeing persecution abroad.
Not just in the perilous and desperate journey to these shores.
But by the hatred and vitriol put on them by the right wing in this country for callous political gain.

Areas receiving levelling-up funds show smaller Reform UK vote share, study finds
Analysis suggests prioritising projects that give quick local results may hold back support for populism
Areas that received money from the last government’s much-criticised levelling up fund tended to have lower votes for Reform UK in the general election, a study has found, indicating that projects delivering quick results may hold back support for populism.
The study by the Social Market Foundation (SMF) thinktank, billed as the first to examine a mass of data factors linked to support for Reform at the level of individual seats, identified a series of factors likely to make voters more likely to back Nigel Farage’s party. Continue reading...
